You'll Never Guess Who Was Originally Supposed To Be Gossip Girl

Gossip Girl's identity remained a mystery until the final ever episode.
The hit CW show lasted for six seasons, and recently the series' creators revealed a number of secrets from the set to celebrate its ten year anniversary.
One of those secrets: Gossip Girl was almost an entirely different character.
*Spoiler alert*

Yep, initially the real GG wasn't supposed to be Dan Humphrey. Talk about a plot twist.
Executive producer Joshua Safran revealed who he originally planned on making the sassy blogger.

"I always thought it was Eric until the end of season two, and I even guided it that way," he revealed.

"But when the New York Post revealed it was Eric -- and I still don't know how that happened, I think they were just guessing -- and we realized we couldn't go down that road anymore, so we abandoned him."

Yep, Eric van der Woodsen (Connor Paolo) was meant to be the real GG.
He is Serena's brother after all, so it makes a lot of sense, as he would've had access to all the juiciest secrets from the Upper East Side.
